Taking college courses by a high schooler at a community college- Do all colleges accept the credits

[Anonymous]

I remember a relative telling me this could be done but do all colleges accept the class and credits? - just take placement tests ahead of time? Will this type program uphold in the future? Would love it if my child could take classes and graduate early but who knows what the future will be.

I know multiple people skipping the AP route and doing this.

Also, Gonzaga kids can take classes at Georgetown, don't know much about that though.

This is from my son's college website:

1. When students are admitted by transfer, their records are tentatively evaluated by the registrar to determine the transferable equivalent. These courses are credited subject to confirmation through satisfactory progress.
2. College-level courses taken on college campuses by students prior to matriculation as first-year students are evaluated on the same basis as courses presented by new transfer students.

This college is a LAC.

This is from a USNews article:

"many community colleges have transfer agreements with four-year colleges, arrangements that emerged to make sure that transfer credits would be recognized..."

So it looks like you'll have to look at each college/university and see what their policies are.

What date was the article, so you have the link?

There should be no problem transferring community college credits anywhere, in general. Some schools require all coursework in your major to be at the matriculating university, though. Others may have some other restrictions.

I took a summer community college class between junior and senior year in high school. Georgetown accepted it.

Use Google for heaven's sake. The information is easy to find:

I should add that this applies if you are taking baccalaureate-level courses. Sometimes CCs have lower level courses that will not transfer like maybe Pre-Calc. A CC advisor can give you a better idea of what should transfer, but ultimately it's always up to the university accepting the credits.
